Yeah, and pretending that it’s the same thing for fathers and mothers is insane. Huge physical issues versus “would like to spend a few weeks bonding with the baby.” It’s insane how a huge part of contemporary feminism is “we have to get all the stuff for men we get for women.”

Six weeks of “parental leave” is ridiculous. Women take 6-8 weeks to fully recover from a vaginal birth or c-section on average. So basically, men and adoptive parents get six weeks to bond with their babies. Women who gestate their own babies get barely, BARELY enough time to recover physically from one of the…
Yeah, at 7 months pregnant, I’m a little impressed that anyone with a 6-month-old baby could plan and execute any plan more complicated than a one-pot supper.
Yup. I always told people—look, if the performers didn’t agree to those interviews, they wouldn’t have been contracted or paid. They had no choice but to be perky and smiles on camera. If every Wal-Mart purchase you made came with a smiling 60-second interview video of your cashier telling you how much they loved…
Isn’t it interesting how in research science, no one would be able to “choose” not to wear protective gloves or other garments necessary to performing one’s work as safely as possible? And how no one in a factory is allowed to simply choose to work without a safety harness? You could let people “choose” these things,…
Pornographers and pimps have long loved conflating the idea that prostitutes and porn performers are abused with being the same thing as “saying they should be ashamed” and being “anti sex worker.” This general line has kept the public thinking that it’s much more enlightened to take a fundamentally anti-labor…
Yeah, god forbid anyone think that women are oppressed—by men.
Kafka would have found a lot to write about if he’d been writing today.
Latinx students are actually more underrepresented versus proportion of population than black students at Yale. The percentage of black students at Yale is 9%, the percentage of black 4-year college students is 13%. Latinx students are also 9% of the student body but represent a higher fraction of overall college…
Yawn. Another Jezebel article about how women shouldn’t be able to EXCLUDE anyone because it’d be so MEAN to judge anyone on anything. This is a rape culture line. This is how women are coerced into a hundred different things, trained not to say “no.” Don’t say “no” to ANY playdates, ladies, even with people whose…
So we’ve moved to a place in feminism where we now think it’s super FUN! when one woman “encourages” another woman to be physically struck by a man in a pantomime of abuse behaviors? Right. I think my stop was a couple streets ago.
This is par for the course. Naming the agent of violence is often seen as cruel or mean, or to be “ignoring the victims.” Then, victimhood itself is made shameful—”stop being such a victim,” or “don’t treat them like victims, that ignores their agency.”
End result: rapists get to keep on raping, women end up with no…
Unfortunately, this particular disease-causing agent takes DAYS to die from chlorine exposure. :-/

Interesting. There's a theory that our entire culture is one giant ball of supernormal stimuli—stimuli around us are designed to overwhelm our senses and our basic, primitive drives in order to drive consumption activity.
Is your reading comprehension that bad, or your math skills?
Uh, no. I was trying to explain Bayesian probability to you, but you clearly have no interest in listening. There are more than 2000 times more males than females who are 6'6. However, because only about 1% of people assigned male at birth identify as transgender, only 20x more MTFs are 6'6 than female-assigned…
Um, you don't see the problem with there being as many 6'2 MTFs as natal women, when women's sports have been marginalized and people born female have been discouraged from taking part in sporting events?
Nothing. It's just that there are SO MANY MORE men who are 6'2 and over that if you see a 6'2 person, they are more likely to be an MTF than they are to be female assigned at birth, even when you take into consideration how few MTF people there are compared to non-trans men and women. At a height of 6'6, MTFs…
